Optimise therapy for a variety of diabetes patients
The comprehensive data provided by continuous glucose monitoring can assist you in designing an individualised diabetes treatment program based on detailed glycaemic profiles. It’s also a useful educational tool that can improve motivation and collaboration with patients.1

While continuous glucose monitoring may be used effectively with all diabetes patients, it may be of particular use in evaluating the following conditions and situations:

  • Elevated glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).2
  • Hypoglycaemic episodes.2 and unawareness
  • Hyperglycaemic episodes
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Unexplained blood glucose excursions
  • Gastroparesis
  • Gestational diabetes, preconception, pregnancy and nursing
  • Evaluation of therapeutic changes to medication regimen
  • Evaluation of behavioral modifications affecting glycaemic control
  • Patients undergoing erythropoietin therapy because HbA1c may be unreliable..3
